The DSP will operate with the framework from the revised SEND code of Practise 2014 and Local Authority Guidelines.

All children with an EHCP will have individualised targets. Progress towards these targets will be continually monitored by the DSP staff and the SENDCo

Targets are reviewed three times a year formally, one of which will be the annual EHCP review with parents and careers. At the annual review of the EHCP the child may be set new targets in collaboration with other professionals and parents.

We aim for our children in the Sunshine Room to benefit from our whole school inclusive system. The Sunshine Room is a valued and integrated part of Sandfield Close Primary School. Children will have specific lessons in the DSP but the aspiration is that children will then have lessons, where children have strengths, in the school with their peers. When children our ready, they will receive the levels of support needed to enable them to progress within the mainstream environment. The curriculum will reflect the needs of the children and provide them with focused and meaningful learning which addresses the social, communication and interaction needs for each child.
